I am a Latter Day Saint Mom raising a three year old with Autism. Her name is Abby. She is smiley, endlessly energetic, strong, spirited, and innocent. Share our daily triumphs, lend a shoulder for Mom to cry on, get and give advice.

Just what I've been waiting for.

Yesterday I got a special surprise. Abigail came up to me at the end of the day and said, "I lav foo." Let me interpret for you, "I love you." Then she hugged me. I was so happy I wanted to laugh and cry. It was spontaneous and so sweet. Wow, after these four years of me telling her that I love her, she tells me. Good day.

My daughter started Horse therapy when she was 3! I grew up riding and have never had a fear of horses, cautious yes and helmets always but I think the benefits outweigh the risks 1,000% - for my child it has been a release and a therapy just for her, that break in her schedule... It is expensive and it's not available everywhere - we drive a bit - but something worth considering!
